COULDN'T RESIST IT :-)

Hello Peeps,
I was browsing and I found a new Blog called 'The Dutch Canaries' (Het Canary Blog)...a group who will be making Challenges with Saturated Canary Images :-)
At the moment they are giving one away if you go over and have a look :-)
Well, I snagged her, and the Challenge is to colour her in the costume of your choice, so mine is in Greek National Costume (Well sort of... considering she's a Dutch girl, but you get the idea) LoL
I coloured her with Copics :-) Click Pic to enlarge.

HDH148 BAD MOON RISING

Happy Macabre Monday and welcome to Challenge HDH148 at HAUNTED DESIGN HOUSE .... BAD MOON RISING.
I have made a selection of ATCs, using a Free digi image of a 'Flapper' I got the other day. (I cannot seem to find out where I got it from now so I apologise). I gave her some different eyes and altered her mouth so she's got fangs and a little blood too :-D
I have used backing papers from Crafty Chaos, card from my stash, and a selection of distress inks and other goodies.

SMUDGY ANTICS - EVIL ALICE

Hello and Happy Monday and welcome to this week's Challenge over at SMUDGY ANTICS.

This week's challenge theme is:

"EVIL ALICE".

It seems Alice is huge these days! Alice is everywhere! She has video games, challenge blogs, tag and ATC swaps and who knows what else...all devoted to her and Wonderland! That girl gets tons of attention! We expect to see lots of entries this week. Of course, being Smudgy Antics, we like things that are on the dark or edgy side of the art world. Smeared Ink has made their own collection of AIW and let me tell you, Alice is all grown-up now! You can find these jaw-dropping creations in the shop now. I provided the link for the entire set, but these can be purchased as singles as well. Trust me, you will want them all! They are Hot!

We at Smudgy Antics challenge you to make the most mind-blowing AIW piece you can. Make it evil, make it twisted, or make it seductive. All of that will work. Just stay away from the safe and cute stuff. Save that for the other challenge blogs and tap into your dark side. We dare you!

For my offering this week I used one of the new images called 'Rabbit'. Click Pic to enlarge...

I used the backing card from a stencil set I bought coz I like the clock, two cut outs from my New Xcut - one with Rabbit on it. I coloured it using Copics, pencils and baby oil :-) Thanks for the idea Helen xx

My eyes are from a Dilly Beans image and I have set them into flowers cut with a die.

I hope you will come over and play this week. :-)

PRETTY, PRETTY SESSION

It's me again today... phew !!
I have had such a lovely day beetling about in my nice tidy craft room, and I've just been non-stop making things.
I was sorting through my computer and I came across a folder of images from ANJI's ANTICS. She does song lyrics too on her Blog. :-) I've had this one for a while... she's called "SteamRose" so I decided to colour her up with Copics and put her on a tag. I used my latest Xcut die, some new lace I bought locally, and some little butterflies that I die-cut from pink card and edged in pink ink. The backing of the tag was stamped with a lovely little Unity Stamp - "A Little Bit of Burlap" that I won as a prize. These are great stamps coz they come ready mounted on cling foam, so you just slap it straight on your acrylic block.... that means I don't have to touch it much (since I'm allergic) LoL I stamped with embossing ink and then sprinkled kaleidoscope embossing powder and heat embossed. Then I rubbed over it with my pink ink stamp.
Anyhoo - I'm waffling on... here she is : Click pic to enlarge ...

AUGUST RUDOLPH DAY

Happy Saturday Everyone,
I have made another creation for entry into Sarn's RUDOLPH DAY challenge over at STAMPING FOR PLEASURE. The aim is to make a stock of Christmas goodies every month on 25th. :-) I have made an ATC using a freebie background paper and my "Hot Santa" image available in my SHOP. I am really into ATCs at the moment... something I have avaoided for a long time and I really don't know why, coz now I'm hooked LoL
Click on pic to enlarge.

I also made a little bead, bow, charm dangly thing with a new Snowflake charm I just bought.

Sorry the pic quality is not so good - I am still struggling with my little camera which is dying on it's feet. Got a new one coming :-)

Anyways - there you are Sarn..... at least I won't get a smacking this month :-D xxx

SORT OF JOURNAL THINGY :-)

Me again,
I was colouring up a new digi I got FREE from SMEARED & SMUDGED FORUM for entering one of their monthly Challenges.... it's called 'Imagination', from Smeared Ink, and I wasn't exactly sure what I was going to do with it. I'd always fancied starting some sort of Journal type thing that I see people making. I found the instruction book for my little camera that has just died on me, and it seemed a shame to just throw it away. I have decided to use it for doing other stuff that's not cards etc. and just for things that pop into my mine etc, so I suppose that's a sort of Journal !! :-) I glued 2 of it's flimsy pages together and added some plain white paper to make it stiff, then mounted my coloured image and some embossed card, with a sentiment I got from Ginger's House which I thought was very suitable for me LoL.......... Et Voila !!
Here it is as was.......................

I haven't decorated the front yet or the inside first page, but here's what I did with my freebie image (coloured with Copics)..... Click Pic to enlarge...........

Kinda' cool eh ? If you pop over to the Forum and play in one of the Monthly Challenges, you can get this little sucka' too :-D

See you later xxxxxxxxxxx

SMEARED + SMUDGED AUGUST MEMBERS' BLOG HOP

Hello and welcome to our August Members' BLOG HOP: at SMEARED & SMUDGED FORUM in association with Smeared Ink.
I hope you are enjoying what you are seeing so far.
If you came here from the fabbo Madelein's Blog, you are on the right track. If not - don't worry, I have the list further down so you can catch up :-) xx
We are working to a Theme this time - Edgar Allan POE.
I have used a Raven from SMEARED INK's POE set and have fussy cut him out 8 times. I also did this with a flipped image so that makes 16 layers in all. I stuck both halves together and then dipped him in my melting pot with UTEE. I then attached him to an earring fitting, added feathers, beads, chains and black thin ribbon and voila ! A Poe earring. He is a little bit heavy but I am prepared to suffer by the end of an evening - where I will only wear one such earring when I 'Goth-up' :-)
